5.0 throttle cable and aod kick down cable

What is the best throttle cable and aod kick down cable? I know there is a lot out there just was wondering if one manufacturer is better than another. Thank you

Carb or EFI?
AOD does not have a kick down cable. It has a TV cable (or rod). Set this up wrong and the transmission is toast before you get around the block.

Efi
So my aod uses a TV cable? What is that and what one should I look at? What's the difference between a kick down cable and a TV cable?

Kick down is a WOT (Wide Open Throttle) trigger.
TV (Throttle Valve) tells the transmission the position of the throttle to control shift points at all throttle settings, not just if you are at full throttle or not.
